2. Atelos

   From the publisher´s website:

   Atelos was founded in 1995 as a project of Hip's Road, devoted to
   publishing, under the sign of poetry, writing which challenges the
   conventional definitions of poetry, since such definitions have
   tended to isolate poetry from intellectual life, arrest its development,
   and curtail its impact.

   All the works published as part of the Atelos project are commissioned
   specifically for it, and each is involved in some way with crossing
   traditional genre boundaries, including, for example, those that would
   separate theory from practice, poetry from prose, essay from drama,
   the visual image from the verbal, the literary from the non-literary, and
   so forth.

   The project directors and editors are Lyn Hejinian and Travis Ortiz.

3. Brandeis University, Comparative Literature Program

   The interdisciplinary program of comparative literature engages the study of literatures and cultures within and across national boundaries. It also comprises comparative analysis of literary texts and genres with visual art forms, social discourse and practices, as well as other expressions of cultural innovation.

   These forms preexist us — we are born into a certain culture, which consists of a set of discourses and practices — and shape our intellectual awareness of culture. They are not, however, static, but dramatic in nature and continually undergo change.

   Analysis of cultural differences, diversities and similarities will promote a greater knowledge of the rapidly changing globe we inhabit and also deepen students critical understanding of their own culture.

4. Digital Scholarly Communication

   HASTAC´s conference on Digital Scholarly Communication showed why and how we cannot change the academic message without transforming the medium. And vice versa. The gathering experimented with an array of new forms and formats designed not just to discuss those three terms--digital, scholarly, communication--but to show how they work together to change one another and, indeed, to contribute to the transformation of higher education more generally. Bringing together voices from many sectors of the academy in a variety of new formats, this conference presages powerful new possibilities for interdisciplinary, interactive, and multimedia research and communication both in the academy and for the general public.

5. HASTAC

   From the organization´s website: HASTAC ("haystack"), founded in 2001 at Duke University is a network of individuals and institutions inspired by the possibilities that new technologies offer us for shaping how we learn, teach, communicate, create, and organize our local and global communities.  We are motivated by the conviction that the digital era provides rich opportunities for informal and formal learning and for collaborative, networked research that extends across traditional disciplines, across the boundaries of academe and community, across the "two cultures" of humanism and technology, across the divide of thinking versus making, and across social strata and national borders.

9. The Kitchen

   from the organization´s website:

   The Kitchen is a non-profit, interdisciplinary organization that provides innovative artists working in the media, literary, and performing arts with exhibition and performance opportunities to create and present new work. Using its own extensive history as a resource, the organization identifies, supports, and presents emerging and under-recognized artists who are making significant contributions to their respective fields as well as serves as a safe space for more established artists to take unusual creative risks.

   The Kitchen has been a powerful force in shaping the cultural landscape of this country for more than three decades. Founded as an artist collective in 1971 by Woody and Steina Vasulka and incorporated as a non-profit two years later, in its infancy The Kitchen was a space where video artists and experimental composers and performers could share their ideas with like-minded colleagues. It thus was among the very first American institutions to embrace the then emergent fields of video and performance art, while also presenting new visionary work within the fields of dance, music, literature, and film.
